The Pleasures of Hanging.

If those are to be believed who, having
been more or less hanged, have been re-
suscitated and have narrated their ex-
periences, themuch-commiserated victim
Of the laws extreme penalty is not
wholly miserable. It would seem that
even death 'sus. per coll" has its
ameliorating conditions or circumstances.
One sufferer in the religious cause in
France is said to have complained" be-
cause he was called back to conscious
ness from an experience of SURPRISING
delights, in which he enjoyed the pleas
ure Of gazing upon the most beautiful
scenery. The immediate sensation Of
pain is momentary; and it would appear
rot unlikely that, in our anxiety for the
avoidance of needless annoyance to
those we put to death judicially, may
be actually increasing their suffering and
diminishing their pleasure. The instan-
taneous deaths have all the pain and lit
tie or none Of the pleasure. SloWly IN
duced congestion of the brain may be
the least painful; and if only the blood
pressure be etectually raised at the
centre that sees, the beautiful light and
charming scenery are enjoyed in the
highest perfection. The subject is q
grim one, and We are not sure that the
new view Of hanging experience tends to
make the death penalty increasingly de-
terrent; but it is right that both sides Of
a question which the late MIR, Whalley
once excited the merriment of the House
Of Commons by describing as ''a poor
mans question" should be carefully con-
sidered at all costs.-London Lancet.

an inceSsant horror of being clutched in
the dark By some cold, clammy Icing
who has the remarkable, superhumar
pC er oi coming in upon them through
tie cvhole. They live in constant
Dread, they toss upon their couches, and
should they awake in the darkness Of
the night and hear the signing of the
wind, imagination weayes the sound into
the breathing Of some ghoulish visitor,
and drawing the covering over their
heads, they await with bated breath and
list'ning ear their coming doom.
It is a silly fancy, an unnatural CON-
position, that produces such dread. We
are not living among vipers, whose pol
sorous fangs are drawn to strike upon
every side; nor are we surrounded by
Sepoys, whose dark scowl ana murderous
ieer are indicative OF the trade OF death,
whose dirks are ever ciutched to pirrCe
them into the flesh of brothers, whose
fingers are aching to clutch some unsus-
pecting victim. Nor is this Nihilistlc
country, where treason turks IN the very
air, where brother suspects brother,
where to-day you are breathing III Sc
curity and tomorrow the seal Of death
is upon you. Such, thank God, is not
the case. Civilization is at its grandest
height, the world is becoming sociahzed,
and the Influences of the law are tending
to remove the dread OF man for mankind.
Enemies are not going to pounce upon you
at every turn, nor assassins hover over
your slumber. So, ye fearful antici-
pators, go to your rest, unmindful OF
detriment, undisturbed By the moaning

Signed
Witness Interpreter,

On the back is printed blank for in
dorsement Of the transfer OF the con-
tract to the effect that 'tMr.----ac-
cepts the within contract as made by the
said Parsons, his agent"
When twenty or thirty people are
picked up and the contracts are squeezed
as low as possible, they are packed up
and shipped to Northampton. Then the
farmers call and make selections. TIE
laborers are sold to any purchaser. The
farmer pays generally a fee of SIG head
for his help. The agent in this city re-
ceives 81, and Mr.. Parsons pays the
laborer's fare and pockets the balance,
about 81, as his fee. The farmer, by his
contract, can make the laborer pay in
work for the cost Of his transportation.
The prices at which able-bodied men
can be secured vary, but do not exceed
500 q year. Women need be paid but
$50 year, while children work for their
board and clothes. As farmers have to
pay American hands $lS or $50 a month,
they are glad to get strong and healthy
foreigners Injured to hard work for S. or
less a month.
In the circular which Parsons sen3s
out to the farmers in search OF custom
ers are these statements: Patience IS
necessary, especially when YOU want to
use them (the green hands, alone. Our
best help has been Danes. We, from
choice, mix the different nationalties.
Being poor and ignorant of our language
and ways, they expect to work cheap; TO
some this is no disadvantage; in fact, We
would rather have them Ignorant Of the
knowledge of our laborers, some Of
them, for such wisdom often proves
foolishness to their employers.
"Pricc of the help, about $40 or 81
for the season, SIS for June and July,
Sc for fall and winter, $50 to Sl2o a
year, depending upon capacity. Some
learn very quick.
eff you have tenement-two rooms

Hlrs. Andrew Jackson, Jr., Once Mistress
Of the White House. Ereatbes Her Last
at TIE age OF Eighty-one.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 23.-Mrs.
Sarah Jackson died at the Hermitsge
to-day, aged eighty-one, leaving two
children, Colonel Andrew Jackson, of
West Point, who was an artillery officer
in the late war on the Southern side and
made reputation, and Mrs. DR.. John
Lawrence. One son, Samuel, was killed
at Chicka.nauga.
Mrs. Sarah Jackson, now remembered
by few people, was for four years s-or
nearly four years-the most prominent
lady of the land, the mistress of the
White House. About the commence
mencement OF General Jackson's second
term, bis adopted son, Andrew Jackson,
Jr., married Miss Sarah York, of Phila-
delphia, young lady of accomplish
ments, Of good family and great person
al beauty. The adopted son, who was 8
nephew of Mrs. Jackson, brought his
young bride to the White House, where
she was received by the President, who
was a widower, Mrs. Jackson having
died after his first election and before
he became President. She proved to be
a most devoted daughter and loving
wife. General Jackson was peculiar
man. The loss of his wife four years
before had changed his whole life. All
his letters letters to members of the
family and friends-shoWing that during
his first term he was grieving over his
great loss. But when the time expired,
the Old General came back to the hermit
age.
In time he died, leaving to his son
and the family fine estate. This was
lost and the family were in straitened
circumstances. The son died in 1867,
and yesterday the once beautiful bride,
the mistress of the White House-the
old here's greatest comfort and solace in
his old age-passed away at the age of
eighty-one.
